Yes, thnakyou for the help, but I already have the actual picture and his flight stats and I was hoping if someone out there could tell me about him in general if anyone know just a little about him, stories about his crew plane or the mission he did, also can you tell me where I can find a site that would be related to the OSS because I want to see if anyone has information about his job in the OSS. Another thing is thank you for the list on the book and if you know any members that might have asked or are from the Lischer group or were in the Royal Flush or even knew him that would mean a whole new world to me and my family. I own his bomber jacket and I have the circular emblem of his squad. if that is what it pretains to but I want to send it to a place where they can make the color look like it did when he was in service, the colors have faded some and it would me a lot to me to find a place that does that kind a work. I also would like to know if there is another reunion for his squadron and I would like to reach that person and see if anyone knows about his time in the 100th Bomb Group. I am pretty sure the 100bg already knows this but S/Sgt Alanson "Lance" M. Trigg past away this last year.      ALSO ANOTHER THING IS THAT THERE IS A SPELLING ERROR ON HIS NAME WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURE OF HIS GROUP AND IT TELLS ABOUT THE LISCHER SQUAD. HIS NAME IS NOT ALONSO BUT HIS NAME IS ALANSON.
